For the texture tut you graciously wrote for us, you mention "Liquify". Are you using Photoshop or Paint Shop? As far as I can tell, Photoshop (5.5) does not have this feature. What is the effect you are trying to achieve? (Maybe I can figure out a good substitution step in its place for Photoshop users...)

Okay...Liquify is rather like "Kai's Power Goo" What we are doing is "Spherifying" the cheeks so that the pores appear to be on a hillish cheek-like structure rather than on a flat surface. But you know what? ON second thought, why not let uvmapping do the work? It looks lovely on the tex map itself, but in reality, when Poser contorts your map to fit the figure, it will displace the pore-grid itself properly. If you do the liquify step as I mentioned, then it will be done doubly and loss of detail will ensue, which is bad, as you know. So please omit the step and move on. :) -Darth_Logice

Liquify is a very fun new feature of Photoshop 6 beta. Reserve your copy today! (It's really just twirl and sphereize with a couple of pixel contorting tools all in real-time preview window) -Darth_Logice (note the e, pronounced Low-jiss) :D

Interesting! I thought that's what you'd say about "liquify"... Hmmm, vesion 6 eh? Sounds very cool. Lastly, apoligies about misspelling your name. I bow my head in shame oh great Lord...
